“We see our society and future under the umbrella of the unity of the Islamic Emirate, and we do not want our future generations to experience the bitter experiences of wars and conflicts.”

Mullah Nawari, a member of the high commission of Shia scholars of Afghanistan, said:
“In the system of the Islamic Emirate, national unity among ethnic groups has been truly consolidated, and we will not allow anyone to harm the existing stability.”

Jafar Siddiqi, another member of the high commission, stated: “The Shia community has no problems with the Islamic Emirate. We support the achievements of the Islamic Emirate and are striving for the reconstruction of the country and the consolidation of national unity.”

Participants in the meeting also called on the international community to recognize the Islamic Emirate and release Afghanistan’s frozen assets.

Ghulam Ali Wahdat, a tribal elder from Ghazni, said: “We call on the international community to grant the rights of Afghans. The Islamic Emirate and the people of Afghanistan have the right to gain membership in the international community and have good relations with the world.”

Mohammad Hussain Mullah, a Shia religious scholar in Ghazni, said: “We request the international community to release Afghanistan’s frozen assets because it is the right of Afghans. Let the Afghans use these funds for the welfare and comfort of the people of Afghanistan.”

During this meeting, the high commission of Shia people of Afghanistan also invited officials of the previous government to return to the country.
